Is the the same box as the VBox issues?  I'm starting to suspect some 
other systemic problem, because init scripts from the package system 
should Just Work.  Since that seems not to be the case, I'm wondering 
what else is going on.  Have you installed stuff from source, or not 
"stock" repos or something?  That way lies madness and pain...or 
learning a lot about t-shooting and debugging...  And I'll preempt Rich 
and say that either way, you should consider Gentoo...  ;-)

That said, all the advice from the last issue holds true here too.  On 
my drop-dead stock CentOS-6.5 VM:

[root@centos-6:T0:L1:C79:J0:2014-01-22_14:11:41_EST]
/root# grep -R 'is_false' /etc/*
/etc/init.d/functions:is_false() {
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions:is_false() {
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions:    ! is_false 
$NM_CONTROLLED && is_nm_running && USE_NM=true

Note: '/etc/init.d/' is a symlink to '/etc/rc.d/init.d/' so that 
'functions' file is the same...

So the function exists, but isn't being sourced ('help source' or 'help 
.', think #INCLUDE) for some reason.


### Yup, it's there...
[root@centos-6:T0:L1:C83:J0:2014-01-22_14:16:37_EST]
/root# cat -n /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions | grep 
'is_false'
   155      ! is_false $NM_CONTROLLED && is_nm_running && USE_NM=true


### Add maybe being sourced...  (help test | grep -- '-z')
[root@centos-6:T0:L1:C84:J0:2014-01-22_14:18:19_EST]
/root# cat -n /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions | grep 
'/functions'
    10  [ -z "$__sed_discard_ignored_files" ] && . /etc/init.d/functions


### More context...
[root@centos-6:T0:L1:C88:J0:2014-01-22_14:19:49_EST]
/root# cat -n /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions | head
     1  # -*-Shell-script-*-
     2  #
     3  # This file is not a stand-alone shell script; it provides 
functions
     4  # to network scripts that source it.
     5
     6  # Set up a default search path.
     7  PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin"
     8  export PATH
     9
    10  [ -z "$__sed_discard_ignored_files" ] && . /etc/init.d/functions


### This is fundamental
[root@centos-6:T0:L1:C96:J0:2014-01-22_14:28:42_EST]
/root# rpm -q --whatprovides 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions
initscripts-9.03.40-2.el6.centos.x86_64

Hope this is useful,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
